People learn common sense in high shcool and develop their aptitudes at work. So I think people should learn various fields in depth in university. This is because people find out what field they are interested in and are good at and broaden their personal network by taking classes in many different subjects before they start to work.
To begin with, taking a variety of subjects helps university students look for their interests. University offers high qualitied professors and a wide of courses to students. Therefore, as students listen to many professional courses, finally they figure out what area they are interested in and talented in. For example, there are two types of university admission policies in Korea. The first policy is for students to choose their majors before getting into the university, the other one is to select their majors after taking some courses during the first year of university. According to study of ministry of education in 2004, the latter policy satisfy students' need, because they had chances to choose what they are really interested in by listening to many classes.
On top of that, taking many different classes helps students widen their networks. Knowing a lot of people is beneficial to work in social life. In this respect, taking lots of subjects gives students opportunities to make many promising friends in the future naturally . For instance, my friends took as many courses as she could and made so many friends in university. She might not know how important her friends were at that time. As she works at the cosmentic company now, her friends became very precious consumers. Her friends have important effects on her career by buying the cosmetics from her company and give her advices about cosmetic quality or price.
University students should take classes in a variety of fields due to finding their talents and wide social networks. |
